Can you please help me to do this homework? Answer the following 3 questions (Critique the methods of each student. )


Consider the following hypothetical scenario: GCC is weighing the option of shortening the summer session to one 6-week session, and extending each Spring and Fall Semester by one week in order to accommodate a “reading week,” that is, a week between the final week of instruction (week 15) and finals week (week 16). This week has the function of allowing students to prepare for their final exams without having to worry about attending classes. Three students, here referred to as Students A, B, and C, are tasked with inquiring into the opinion of the GCC student body on this issue. They are tasked with estimating the proportion of the student body which agrees with the statement “do you support shortening the summer session and adding a reading week to the fall and spring semesters?” · Student A, being very popular on campus with many friends and acquaintances from diverse backgrounds, decides to create a poll via their social media account. · Student B, being a member of several on-campus clubs and organizations, polls their peers in each of their clubs and organizations. · Student C sets up a booth at a central campus location, and solicits participation in the survey by offering passersby a piece of candy in exchange for their answers. Critique the methods of each student. · What are the pros and cons of each method? What are the potential pitfalls inherent in each method? · Which method do you believe would produce the most accurate estimate of the true population proportion? What method do you believe would produce the least accurate estimate of the population proportion? Remember that the population parameter you are estimating is the proportion of the GCC student body who would answer “yes” to the question “do you support shortening the summer session and adding a reading week to the fall and spring semesters?” · Discuss an alternative to each of the three methods that you think could avoid the pitfalls of each method.
